Just to let you and Konstentin know that I downloaded the update on Thursday, and all works without a hitch! Thanks so much! BTW, my computer at work runs DOS 5.0 on a 386. Right now, I am doing a Back-up/Restore to move the changes I make from home to work. 1. Is there a better way? 2. Can I run the update on my computer at work even if it is a 386 running DOS 5.0? Thanks, Doug

Doug, Backup and Restore is still the best way to move changes. Now there is a selective Restore, so you can move only the files you want. The update should be fine on your 386 at work. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support

Is there a list of files that you could send me? THanks! Doug
